In the past few years, Shi Zhijian has been diligently practicing calligraphy in his spare time, especially copying Liu Gongquan. He has a lot of experience. Although he is still better than those masters, he has made some achievements. However, Shi Zhijian knows very well that this kind of thing cannot be done too much.
If you do too much, your own calligraphy will be worthless. In addition, he is too busy and does not have enough free time to write calligraphy for others.
In short, rare things are more valuable!
When Shi Zhijian finished the inscription, the shrewd Deng Bolun came up and praised Shi Zhijian's calligraphy of dragons and phoenixes, iron paintings and silver hooks. He also sincerely invited Shi Zhijian to inscribe for their sculpture association, saying that his previous inscriptions were too rubbish.
Shi Zhijian was a little embarrassed to be praised, so he just wanted to avoid the difficulty and wrote another inscription for him.
At this time, those who belatedly realized that Shi Zhijian's calligraphy would not be given away easily, and they immediately came forward to ask for inscriptions. Shi Zhijian was embarrassed to refuse, so he had to inscribe two or three more copies, then threw away the pen and said that the event would be
Start, can't write anymore.
At this time, those who got the words were very happy, while those who didn't get it were beating their chests and regretting that they were too slow to take action. Only Deng Bolun looked proud.
The Bruce Lee sculpture was unveiled, and the foundation laying ceremony of the memorial hall officially began.
According to tradition, a big man will take the stage to speak at this time. Many people thought that Shi Zhijian would come forward in person, but it turned out that it was Shao Yifu and Shao Daheng!
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but be a little stunned.
You must know that not long ago, as a film tycoon and entertainment tycoon, Shao Yifu severely criticized Shi Zhijian on behalf of Hong Kong films, criticizing him for the over-expansion of Shinhwa Entertainment, which has made many film companies unable to make ends meet, etc.
It can be said that it made a fuss.
But now no one thought that Shi Zhijian would give up such a good thing to Shao Yifu.
Not to mention the following audiences, even Shao Yifu himself did not expect that Shi Zhijian would entrust such a good thing to him last night.
At this time, Shao Daheng was talking eloquently on the stage, starting from the history of Hong Kong movies, talking about Bruce Lee, Hong Kong movies entering Hollywood, and then talking about the current status of Hong Kong movies, especially the impact of Hong Kong TV programs on movies, etc.
I have to say that Shao Daheng is definitely an expert in this area. Almost every sentence is to the root, making people nod frequently.
At this time, everyone in the audience could hear clearly, and the expressions on their faces were thought-provoking.
This person is none other than George Ho, the major shareholder and founder of Hong Kong Jiayi TV!
…
He Zuozhi, whose ancestral home is Bao'an, Guangdong, was born in the United States in 1918. He is the illegitimate son of Robert Ho Tung, a famous gentleman and businessman in Hong Kong. He studied at King's College in Hong Kong, then went to the United States and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley. After returning to Hong Kong, he lived under Ho Tung's administration.
Worked as an employee in a property management company. Soon, he was transferred to Ruitai Trading Co., Ltd. as a manager. Later, he jointly established Zod Company with a wealthy Shanghai businessman to represent foreign wine, cameras, household appliances, etc., and the business was booming. He also lobbied Sir Robert Luo from the Macau business community to jointly establish Macau Green.
Village radio station.
In 1959, the Hong Kong government announced a tender to undertake the commercial radio station. He found Executive Council members Law Man-wai and Tang Siu-kin as directors, tendered for the undertaking, and it developed rapidly.
In 1975, he entered television and opened Jiayi TV Station, preparing to flex his muscles in the television field.
There are now three TV stations in Hong Kong, namely the oldest TV station, Lai TV, and then the TVB TV station founded in 1967 by Shao Daheng, Li Shi and others.
As for the newly launched Jiayi TV Station, it was founded and launched by George He at 6 pm on September 7 this year. The launch ceremony was simple, with only general manager He George, program manager Sun Yubiao, and news manager Pan Chaoyan.
After a brief speech, the whole evening program began.
The highlight of the night was the song and dance program "Good Days". This one-hour program was performed by Xu Guanjie, Zeng Jiang and Weng Qianyu, who is popular in Japan. Weng Qianyu's performance alone took up 45 minutes, and the dancers were all from Japan.
, the choreographer and deputy choreographer responsible for Weng Qianyu’s performance also made a special trip from Japan.
George He was very involved in the planning of the program. He went to Japan four times for the program.
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. Especially in a small place like Hong Kong, where there are three TV stations, it is hard to imagine how fierce the competition is.
It had only been two or three months since the launch of the station, and He George couldn't bear it any longer. The reason was that one of the original licensing conditions for Jiayi TV required Jiayi to use part of its time to broadcast educational programs, which made Jiayi TV unavailable in the past few months.
Unable to break even.
In the previous life, He George, who founded Jiayi, did not take this to heart at first. He only considered the advertising benefits. He believed that as long as Jiayi could produce good TV series, it would be able to attract advertisers.
Make a fortune on advertising fees.
For this reason, Jiayi spared no expense in filming the first Jin Yong TV series Michelle's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". After the filming, it became a sensation in Hong Kong. Then Jiayi successively filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Blue Blood Sword" and "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".
Wait, these TV series made Michelle Michelle, Wei Qiuhua, Luo Lelin, Li Tongming, Zheng Yuling, Yang Panpan, Hong Kong Miss Zhang Mary, Qin Huang and others famous in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, Jiayi closed down completely three years later due to huge profits and losses!
Jiayi can be said to be a fleeting meteor. It is very beautiful and bright. Unfortunately, it is short-lived. This is still deplored by many older generation drama fans. It could have become a three-legged TV station with Li and Wireless.
Disappearing like this among all the living beings! How deplorable!
At this time, He George listened to Shao Daheng's vision and plan for TVB on the stage, and then compared it with Jiayi TV, which had been losing money for two months in a row, and couldn't help but feel extremely complicated!
He can still withstand the losses in the past two months, but the question is what will happen in the future? He is also a person who has worked in radio stations, and is very sensitive to the profits and losses in this area. At this time, He George has already smelled the bad side of Jiayi,
My heart began to waver.
Not far away, there was a man in white who had been looking at him carefully, with a half-smiling expression on his face, as if he was planning something. That man was none other than Shi Zhijian.
But the reason why Shi Zhijian took the initiative to invite Shao Daheng to give a speech this morning last night was to stimulate the boss George He!
No comparison, no harm!
As someone who also does something, Shao Daheng obtained the license easily and without any strings attached.
George He was too impatient and signed some unequal treaties with the government, especially promising to broadcast educational content at ten o'clock in the morning every day, and at eight or nine o'clock in the evening!
In terms of preaching, ghosts like to read it!
It would be strange if such a TV station didn’t collapse!
In addition, as an experienced person, Shi Zhijian also knows very clearly that the boss He George lasted only one year at most after he founded Jiayi, before he sold all his shares and ran away!
As for those who acquired his equity, they became the ones who were taken advantage of, and accompanied Jiayi to lose money from beginning to end!
But now Shi Zhijian wants to take the initiative to be taken advantage of because he is planning to acquire Jiayi!...
Lai's TV station has a great influence in Hong Kong, but most of its shareholders are ghosts. It was not until the performance was not good and some ghost shareholders quit, that it was given to the Chinese at an advantage, and Qiu Dehe acquired it and changed its name to "ATV".
Now Li's is the most profitable TV station in Hong Kong. If he wants to acquire him, he needs the nod of approval from those greedy guys.
Not to mention TVB, this TV station was founded by Shao Daheng and Hong Kong Lee Family. However, in order to fight with Shi Zhijian, Li Zhaotian diluted part of Lee's shares, leaving Shao Daheng alone and now it has become TVB
The well-deserved king, Shi Zhijian’s acquisition of TVB is even more difficult than reaching the sky.
So now there is no choice. If Shi Zhijian wants to follow the same example and compete with Zheng Yutong in the jewelry industry in Hong Kong, relying on public opinion wars and advertising wars to win over each other, he must control a TV station where he has the final say. Undoubtedly, Jiayi
is the only option!
You know, advertising wars and public opinion wars are very expensive businesses. In the last generation, the publicity and distribution fees for many film companies' movies were ten times higher than the cost of the entire movie. You can imagine how much manipulation of the media and public opinion can do.
make money.
On the other hand, if you don’t have a newspaper of your own or a TV station to support you, and spend real money and money on it, and people tremble in public opinion advertisements, it won’t be long before you run out of ammunition!
Shi Zhijian took a long-term view and made long-term calculations. Zheng Yutong used his relationship with Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao to compress his cash flow.
Then Shi Zhijian was not rude, and used TV stations and newspaper advertisements to consume the Zheng Group's funds!
At that time, Shi Zhijian will have "Oriental Daily" and Jiayi TV behind him, so he can advertise for his company without spending a penny. On the contrary, Zheng Yutong will have to spend a lot of money——
Just as Shi Zhijian was daydreaming, Shao Daheng finished his speech on the stage and won warm applause.
Shi Zhijian glanced at George He and saw that he had a heavy expression on his face, and also clapped gently.
Shi Zhijian winked at Hu Juncai, and was about to let Hu Juncai contact him on his behalf, when he heard Shao Daheng calling him on the stage, asking Shi Zhijian to go on stage with him to unveil the Bruce Lee statue.
Helpless, Shi Zhijian had no choice but to tell Hu Juncai to go take care of things first while he stepped onto the stage.
Shao Daheng is still excited in his heart. There are so many people, he has given so many speeches, and there is such warm applause. It seems that his sword is still young!
Shao Daheng was happy in his heart, but felt even more ashamed of Shi Zhijian. He thought he was too petty or Shi Zhijian was generous enough, but little did he know that he had just been used as a gunman, and Shi Zhijian used him to severely stimulate He George.
The more proudly Shao Daheng talks about TVB, the heavier George He's expression becomes.
As for Shi Zhijian taking the stage to unveil the statue with Shao Daheng, it had already been arranged. Not to mention that this memorial was initiated by Shi Zhijian. As Bruce Lee's best friend during his lifetime, Shi Zhijian was fully qualified.
In addition to Shi Zhijian, Bruce Lee's widow, Mrs. Linda, is also eligible to take the stage to unveil the statue.
Just like that, under the spotlight of everyone, Shi Zhijian and the three of them removed the red cloth together, revealing the classic statue of Bruce Lee!
"I saw!"
"It's really Bruce Lee!"
"Bruce Lee is resurrected!"
Countless dragon fans shouted excitedly when they saw this scene. For them, their longing for Bruce Lee day and night has long turned into tears. Now seeing such a lifelike statue, they feel that their idol has come back to life again.
He screamed, flying up and beating up the Japanese devils!
Crackling!
The media reporters at the scene took photos wildly of Shi Zhijian and others, and of the statue.
Seeing this scene, many people at the scene said that this statue and this memorial will definitely become Hong Kong's landmark buildings in the future!
…
"Hello, Mr. He George! My name is 'Hu Juncai'! Hu, a man of great wealth, is a man of great talent all over the world!" Hu Juncai walked up to He George, politely took out a gold-plated business card from his arms and handed it to him.
passed.
George He was watching the unveiling ceremony of the Bruce Lee statue on the stage very seriously. He suddenly heard someone calling him beside him. He turned around and saw a man with a middle-parted hair and bared front teeth. He looked very wretched.
"Who are you---"
"Hu Juncai!" Hu Juncai had to introduce himself again and pushed forward the business card he handed out.
George He then casually took the business card, glanced at it, and frowned: "Are you in the vegetable business?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I got it wrong!" Hu Juncai quickly took back the business card and took out a brand new business card from his arms and handed it over.
He George took it again with a suspicious look on his face. He glanced at it this time, and the disdain and contempt on his face disappeared immediately. "Are you the chief lawyer of Shinhwa Group?" His tone was full of surprise.
"Yes, it's me!" Hu Juncai felt proud in his heart, and then he had to admit Shi Zhijian's foresight.
Just like Shi Zhijian said to him, "No matter how good you are at selling vegetables, you are still just a vegetable seller! Those wealthy and aristocratic families will not give you a second glance! On the other hand, if you become a jewelry tycoon, give it a try and you will still be able to sell vegetables."
How many people dare to look down upon you?"
Yes, no matter how much you earn from selling vegetables, what does it matter? Didn’t George He look contemptuous just now? As if I was some kind of dog meat and couldn’t be put on the stage! He changed his business card and said he was a lawyer of Shinhwa Group, and the other party immediately said
His face changed and he looked very enthusiastic.
"I don't know what you want to do with me, Lawyer Hu?" He George looked at Hu Juncai in front of him. Before, he thought he looked vulgar with his teeth bared, but now he looks more elegant - everyone under the Shinhwa Group is an elite!
"That's right, our boss, Mr. Shi Zhijian of Shinhwa Group, wants to invite you to talk..."
"Mr. Shi is looking for me to talk?" He George was stunned, "I don't seem to be familiar with him - what are we talking about?"
"Of course we are talking about business!" Hu Juncai said with a smile, "To be specific, Mr. Shi wants to acquire your newly established TV station!"
"He wants to acquire Jiayi?" He George was startled, and his voice couldn't help but grow louder.
People around him all looked at him.
He George knew that he was rude, so he coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and then whispered to Hu Juncai: "To be honest, you have too much information, I don't understand it!"
"It's okay if you don't understand!" Hu Juncai chuckled, "You'll find out later when you see Mr. Shi!"
